There is some sort of beetle eating my squash blossoms. Have you seen this? What can be done about it? Any help would be appreciated.

SOOOOO>>>>>Awesome. My son sent me this site link. I am a goat farmer and have a herd of about 40 meat goats.  I love farming although I am quite ill now with Adrenal Insufficiency and a pituitary tumor. However....changing to whole foods and natural health I am working my way back to health. I am drinking lots of green smoothies!!!! Great site. Hope my son does this at his urban home!

Fantastic site. I am really motivated to follow this example.Self sustained lifestyle. I have land. The possibilities are endless.

I am greatly enjoying your web site and videos. Very educational. I disagree with your philosophic approach via that corporations are evil, I reserve that notion for governments. I have an underlying concern that the biggest rule makers/breakers, who also set the rule that corporations snake through, will one day find it fit to tax my tomatoes. Being of a more aggressive nature if all else fails I will call my law firm of Rugger, Remington, Remington, and Mossberg. Keep up the good work. And cheer me on as I work on my little backyard homestead.

I really love how you put forth the effort to work together to grow better quality food. I disagree with the human powered appliances, but there may be a time when they are needed and I will have a harder time of it. I wish you all the best in your living.Thank you for making your videos and giving me something to think about.
